IFC Performance Standard 3 on ‘Resource Efficiency and Pollution Prevention’ requires the
client and/or the Project to:
Avoid or minimize adverse impacts on human health and the environment by
avoiding or minimizing pollution from project activities; and
Prevent the release of pollutants to water and land due to routine, non-routine,
and accidental circumstances, or when not feasible, minimize and/or control the
intensity and mass flow of their release.

The Dutch Standards identify maximum allowable concentrations for contaminants in soil and
groundwater. The soil intervention values indicate when the functional properties of the soil for
humans, plants and animals is seriously impaired or threatened. They are representative of the
level of contamination above which a serious case of soil contamination is deemed to exist.
Groundwater target values provide an indication of the benchmark for environmental quality
in the long term, assuming that there are negligible risks for the ecosystem. The Dutch
Standards for the most significant pollutants are presented in the table below. Where a
parameter is not covered by the Dutch Standards, other appropriate international standards
shall be used.
